Description

This service will give you a good chance of achieving a CREST-accredited Cyber Essentials Plus certification at the first attempt. It is also designed for organisations with little or no knowledge of the five controls (secure configuration, boundary firewalls, access controls, patch management and malware protection) and testing conditions, as well as those that do not know their scope or the IP range that should be tested. We also recommend this solution for large organisations with complex organisational structures.

How the application process works:

We send you details of how to log on to our Cyber Essentials online portal.

We book your full day of on-site consultancy.

You define your scope for testing, which will either be the whole organisation’s enterprise IT or a subset.

You complete and submit your self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ).

We inform you if the SAQ meets the requirements of the Cyber Essentials scheme.

You schedule your on-site assessment, which will include the internal vulnerability scan.

You schedule your external vulnerability scan through the portal.

We will conduct the on-site assessment and perform the necessary internal scan on a sample of your Internet-facing devices.

We will provide you with the results of the internal scan and on-site assessment. If there are nonconformities, we will provide detailed feedback to help you understand how to close these gaps and achieve certification.

Testing conditions

Prerequisites

The package price is based on on-site testing at one location, of one type of user account, on up to eight workstation builds and up to five mobile devices (smartphones and tablets*). The duration and the number of locations that must be included in the internal testing depend on the number of user device builds, including BYOD, within the scope of the certification.

*Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet is treated as a workstation.

The number of locations to be tested depends on whether all the different builds can be tested in one location. A build can be delivered to a particular site for testing purposes even if it is not normally deployed there, providing it accesses the Internet in its usual manner.

The number of builds is defined by the number of configurations of operating system and software suites installed. Examples of relevant software are listed below:

Oracle Java

Adobe Acrobat

Microsoft Office

Adobe Flash

Mozilla Firefox

Google Chrome

Opera

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Antivirus solution

If more than one browser or Office suite is used, each variant will need to be tested. If they are installed on the same build, this is acceptable.

Pre-test requirements

All user device builds to be tested, including mobile and BYOD, must be available for testing.

A local user account with username and password must be available for each user group in scope.

You must provide details of a user email account per user group being assessed.

Workstation builds must be configured to allow an authenticated vulnerability scan that will determine patch and version numbers of installed software, and details of the account to be used.

Remote registry must be enabled on the workstation builds, and no global policies that block the authenticated vulnerability scan are permitted.

Additional conditions and expenses

The on-site assessment is subject to additional travel expenses, which will be charged in arrears.

The package includes a free vulnerability scan for up to 16 IP addresses. If you have more than 16 IP addresses, you will need to purchase
additional IP packages in packs of 16. If you fail your external scan, a
rescan will need to be purchased, plus any additional IP packages that you need.

You will receive the documentation toolkit within 48 hours of your purchase and we’ll contact you at the same time to schedule your on-site consultancy. Your consultancy can be split between on-site and Live Online consultancy. Any unused consultancy time will not be credited back.
